They will remove the controller from my cold hands. I’m a 55+ gamer who started with a pong machine in the 70s as a kid. I play more games now than ever before.
Turned 38 the other day and I hope to be still going in my 50's 😊
Also, a lot of discussion around what younger people play. I’d recommend diving into one. I did so years ago to find out what Minecraft was all about. I am approaching 3000 hours in that game now. Learning how to bend the mechanics of that game to my will and dominate the world was the single most satisfying platinum trophy I ever received. And it has also been the source of some of my favorite gaming memories with my partner and friends. It’s worth the effort to see what the new generation likes.
30 plus years gaming and looking forward to retirement someday and play until I drop dead
I hear that. I'm a 47 year old gamer and there is no chance of me slowing down...against my wife's wishes 😂

Glad Andy called out Bless on playing games while watching shogun. That broke my brain when I heard him say that.
Time for Bless to get a new job. Gaming isn’t where his heart is at.
Gaming is still my #1 source of entertainment into my 40s and I don't plan on slowing down until my body starts to fail.
Haven’t touched any games for about 3 months. This happens a lot when I’m going through some tough life shit but I never completely lose interest and always end up going back to something after a while
Hear that. Hope the life shit smooths out asap and gaming pulls you back in soon, homie
Andy is the truest gamer of them all.
This conversation just reaffirmed to me that Andy is the person at KF that i trust most when reviewing ans talking about game, he just seems to get it and his analysis is only getting better
This is KFG Vol. 2, Episode 229 (Episode 481 overall)
I'm 37 still gaming love my hobby.
I’ll never stop gaming but I have definitely had periods of my life where I go weeks without touch a game and then I could grab BG3 and play 200 hours with friends
Life gets in the way sometimes
This would fit in with topic at hand ruclips.net/video/JIr2061oyxo/видео.htmlsi=1fqdsnjelUdLQvKN
Don't plan on ever stopping. It's a hobby I love and I'm not ashamed of it.
I've definitely had lulls though. 2022 was a big one. Nothing was jiving with me that year and I played like 3 games the entire year with months of time where I played nothing.
20:50 I feel like A LOT of people are like this nowadays, and not just younger gamers. I’ve been on subreddits for FFVII Rebirth. So many people were complaining about a specific region involving mushrooms because they felt it was too complicated. When I finally got to that point, I ran into maybe one or two spots that took maybe 30 seconds of brain power to actually solve. It’s like people do not have the capacity to put in effort more than the bare minimum. Then they turn around and call it bad game design, when in reality they just want to get from point A to point B with 0 resistance.
Always thought this was a weird question. Would you stop watching movies? Reading books?
Exactly. To me its like asking are you gonna stop listening to music one day or hell are ya getting tired of hearing people talk all the time... Maybe think about slowing down on listening to people. Lol what a silly question lol will we stop playing games lol. If heaven isnt just one big video game experience ill be highly disappointed and request for leave lol
I mean for alot of people they do. People stop going to theaters and i personally know people who brag about not reading a book since high school
When/if I lose my eyesight or can no longer hold a controller because of crippling arthritis.
Bro forgot blindfolded speed runs 😂
Same but maybe we’ll all have a chip in us by then
@@jmartman13
I'll subject myself to clinical trials for brain mesh and cyborg skeletal replacement therapy.
Well with the accessibility options and controllers out theyll have us forever
@@Valkyr-E
Not necessarily. I don't like where gaming is headed, so I might just be playing old games and consoles if I live to be a useless old turd. Not as many options for those.
I’ll stop gaming when it hurts
Then you find a new way/new games to play

I'm 46 years old with a family,so never will I stop looking forward to stellar blade,It's been my hobby since a kid💯💯👍🏾
I am 47 and still play games, but definitely not as much as I used to as I have gotten more into movies, tv shows, anime, and just other life stuff taking up my time. But I will always be a gamer as long as Nintendo keeps making Metroid and Mario Kart games lol
The love of video games is a love that will never die!
I am a 52yr old professional and have been playing games since I was 6yrs old, when I first laid my eyes on the Atari 2600, which I still have.
I worked in the game biz for 19yrs, which fueled my love. I passed my love down to both my sons. My oldest has made (2) games on his own and is working towards a career in games. My other works at Google as a software engineer, also working on a game with my older son.
You WILL slow down, be more selective with what you play, play less RPG’s 😂mostly because of your time.
I follow the industry daily (Kinda Funny and SpawnWave are my daily) I’m on top of everything in games. At my age and career, I know am a rare breed and when ppl meet me or find out I game, there is a bit of eyebrows raised and shock but instant cred with kids and teens., also instant relatability with those single moms with kids 😂, im way cooler than they thought!
Interesting things is with younger audiences, they are far less knowledgeable than one would expect. I think it is because of the how and where they consume information plus most kids play the mass market games and stop there.
I’m like Greg, I love single player, narrative driven games but I do like a good substance multiplayer game that I can hook up and play with my sons online.
Games keep your mind fresh and youthful, don’t stop, can’t stop!

Love this!
An all-timer episode, with me of the best Gamescast conversations in recent years. Love the gaming retrospective and how aging relates.
I’m turning 32 this year and constantly think about the time I spend gaming and what that will look like in the future. With how the industry has been changing in recent months too I’m curious what the gaming landscape will even look like in 5+ years.
I never plan to stop gaming but agree that life forces your hand and you inevitably slow down. If anything, I think as time goes on I’ll spend less time playing larger games and focus more on smaller games and self-contained experiences for variety’s sake.
Excellent episode and one of my favorite Gamescast conversations. Also sick sweater Andy
Andy I’m sorry to inform you but MTN DEW Rise is no longer in production 😢
I’ll stop when I’m dead 😵
Did they stop making kickstart too? Literally can’t find it anywhere
@@aoBubs not sure!
Super Smash is gonna be in every retirement home in a few decades, I can tell you that.
Also love these kinda gamescasts a lot ! Discussing the wider gaming news whilst giving your own perspectives and feelings ! These and the catch up gamescast are my favourite
My son is 4. We just passed Spiderman together on PS5. He played with the controller for 70% of the game. It was so much fun.
Great conversation guys. I turn 31 this year. I have an 11 year old daughter and I don’t get to play as much as I want but I still manage to squeeze in a handful of hours each week. I at least try most of the major releases each year still and don’t see that changing anytime soon. There are moments/emotions that only video games can deliver and that amazes me.
Totally agree with Tim about giving things your undivided attention. It’s the same with movies, tv shows, whatever.
But especially with games, I feel like so much work goes into these things that I owe it to myself and the creators to actually pay attention and fully experience it.
Also, it’s hard to have a real opinion on a game/movie/show if I only experience it while watching something else.
Maybe that’s why I’m not really into handheld gaming.
I sometimes forget that Bless is a little bit younger than the rest of the guys so that Dick Tracy confusion was hilarious.
I think I'll be gaming for a long time. What people watch in movies and TV is me = playing video games.
I read so much stuff about how gaming addiction is killing us etc. except I still love it today more than I’ve ever done. 2023 and 2024 have been so good in providing SO MANY meaningful experiences
I am 44 and have been playing video games since 1985 and it hasnt changed and will not change till the day I die.
I feel the exact same way Andy does about DD2, strong lotr adventure vibes.
Early 40’s, pretty much play every day. My hands and eyes holding up strong, so far so good. Don’t want to imagine life without PlayStation.
No one would ever ask another person if they ever think they're going to stop watching movies/tv, listening to music, or reading, but it's a pretty frequent question about gaming. The answer, as long as I don't lose the use of my hands or eyes and life/time allows for it, is absolutely never.
im a gonna be 47 this year, and still gaming. sometimes I get a little cramp during a souls like but other than that, nothing is stopping me. that's what Advil is for
This was a fantastic conversation. More episodes like this, please!
I doubt I’ll stop gaming…as you get older, carving time out for it becomes a bit more difficult. Especially when you have other hobbies. I’ve found that now I enjoy going back and finding the gems that I may have missed on previous console generations. Less of keeping up, and Moreso just enjoy the experiences as I find them.
This has been one of the most interesting discussions they’ve done yet. I think every game at one point has to challenge their mortality in the viewpoint of playing games and discussion around that is always super fascinating
I'd love to see Tim do a gaming setup tour and a tour of his home theater too. I've been hearing about it for years and I need to know what's up!
I have been playing video games since the Arcade days in the 80's. I do not plan to stop playing video games with the exception of Twitch Shooters.
I loved listening to this episode. I hope we can get more of these “gaming therapy sessions” in the future cause this is excellent.
Having a kid has really significantly reduced not only my time gaming, but also my drive to game since my free time is now spent catching up with my wife and sleeping. My avg daily game time has gone down from 2-ish hours to maybe 45min? It makes even short games take actual weeks to finish. Very different life. Maybe I'll get back to the way it was sometime in the future. We'll see. Games are still my preferred method of consuming media though. Not sure if/when that will ever change.
Yep, used to look down on campaigns that were 6 hrs. Made fun of them. Now I just wish all games were under 10hrs because this 10-30hr campaigns are a slog. After 3 kids that can take a month or more to complete
Gaming is a passion that I will never lose.
This was a fantastic episode what a great discussion!
I’m 36 and at this moment I am playing Xbox in between meetings at work. Never gonna stop baybeeeeee
As a 37 year old gamer im gaming everyday and have been basically ever since i was 5.
I think hardcore gamers like me need to accept that we simply can't play all the games and be ok with that fact.
I can't ever see me giving up gaming, the only thing i can see happening is giving up playing fast paced multiplayer games.
Gaming is unique in that its able to give the user experiences that no other medium can so why would i give that up
i recently took a little 4-6 month break from games. it was right after I turned 29. That didn’t have too much to do with it, more that i was just getting back into dating and general socializing. it was a nice reprieve but damn it’s good to be back
Bless should be on trial for watching podcasts while playing Returnal vs. listening to that BANGER audio design and atmospheric music
My thoughts exactly, he's never going to have the intended full experience if he continues to game in this way.
I understand it's the only way he can play most big games AND watch shows but I think he just needs to accept he'll never play all big games and that's ok
Tim, everything you said about how you engage with games resonated with me so much! Dead pixels!! My first HD TV in 2007 had 1 dead pixel and it bothered me for the 1.5 years I owned that TV. I gave it to my brother 15 years ago and mention it like once a year and he's never noticed it.
And while I respect that people do other things while gaming, when I'm consuming any form of media, its got my full attention. Like I JUST got a 77inch LG G2 OLED and a 7.1 system for my basement home theater. And I sit like 10 feet away and have it SUPER loud (my wife and kid can't hear it at night which is SO AMAZING!). And I've been playing Ghosts of Tsushima religiously on it. Thats a game I had played before on a standard setup but its a WHOLE different experience in this immersive setup. And I just can't fathom listening to a podcast or watching something else while playing that, i just would not enjoy the experience in the same way.
I think of games like movies or music. It's just a form of entertainment. In the same way I won't stop watching movies, I also won't stop playing games.
Andy... recently I finally decided to go back to 16x9, was rocking ultrawides for years, but dual 16x9 is just way more practical.
50yr old gamer. My mom's second husband, when I was 4, worked for Atari. That was the beginning, Now having a 16 year old son who I started with lego star wars at 3yo, I realize that was a mistake for my family. I took him from that to Fortnite and now he is, as Andy and Greg described, the kid who rarely if ever will play a story based game. For him it's Minecraft (all flavours), Valorent and fortnite for fun. He is a reader and loves mythology so I tried to hand him God Of War. It didn't stick. Hopefully someday!
I wish I kept him focussed on story based longer.
6:38 If it smells bad, the ingredients are probably bad. I hope you all don’t get kidney stones. Drink water! 😂
When you consume media.. movies.. shows.. video games.. you consume that media alone.. so many people put so much love into.. world.. detail.. music.. voice..cinematography.. resolution... set pieces.. etc for you to just ignore all of that and listen to Joe rogan while playing a video game.. I do not agree with blessing watching a show like shogun and playing a game. You are half in one and the other not totally immersed.. one experience is suffering because the other is getting your attention at a moment.. or you may miss key moments! For some reason.. ign.. and kinda funny are the only ones I hear voice that they watch shows while playing video games..
I could see it pick up as my kids get older and then maybe slow down once I’m hitting 60s-70s. But that’s still 25 years away so I’m looking forward to playing more.
If I’m on my death bed I want to play through A Link to the Past one more time.
Ill never stop gaming. I LOVE video games deeply, and I cannot wait for my kids and eventually grand kids to join me in my games.
I'll be 50 this year. I grew up in the arcade. I see no end in site. I try to get me 13 year old into what I'm into, but she only plays Roblox.
Gamers don't die.... they respawn ✊
HADES bow builds go crazy. Easiest to get OP, if you're looking for a relatively easy W.
Just finished my second Elden Ring play though with a new character last night. Was a lot of fun 2 years after my first. I’m all ready for the DLC in June!
What a great conversation, loved this ep! :) Games have been such an important part of my life since I was a child so, I don’t ever see myself letting that go. It’s been like a second home and safe place for so many years.
(ps. The black & red monster zero is SO GOOD!)
I once worried about this. Lolol
I ain't stopping
More gamescasts like this please!!
TLDR - NEVER !
Andy the merch is looking sickkkk!
Neverrrrrrr!!!!! How dare you even ask that question!! A life without games is not worth living in my eyes!! I am so grateful to be alive and enjoy this wonderis human creation❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Games are my de-stressor, but I definitely see myself slowing down and going to more of a large title kind of thing as I get older.
Greg that skate. hoody kinda cleannnnn
I hope that day never happens
3:32 I drank monster for 3 years and have heart issues started with palpitations and PVC. Good luck fellas.
We all know blessing likes Anime more than gaming. If it wasn’t for the fact that he works at KF, he’d be watching anime 24/7
Real ones had a PS Vita as their first OLED device 😤
Been playing games since I was 5. I'm 21 now. I think I'll never stop, but slow down like Bless was saying. As for Dragon's Dogma 2, I'm 75 hours in and I'm still loving it. Andy said you get Dragon's Plague from killing dragons. I've killed 3 so far. No Dragon's Plague. Hopefully I didn't just curse myself.
39 and still play games all the time and probably more than ever. Now just to make sure my 5 and 2 year old don't fall into Fortnite, Minecraft and Rolblox is the biggest obstacle to climb. My 5 year old only wants to play Minecraft and that is it. Although he has been all about Super Smash Brothers and Mario Kart lately. I go from playing on my ROG Ally on the bus to and from work to playing on my PC and PS5 every night. But I feel like this episode is telling my how I can become a better dad. Props to all the content being pushed out on here. Love listening to all of you everyday.
I’ve had an oled since 2016 as well. It’s my main gaming and content consumption device. I recently bought a mini lcd for the bedroom and not a day goes by that I don’t regret buying a non oled tv. It’s a sickness. OLED all the things.
"Blessing go pee pee, Greg Greg goes… who knows."
I want one of those SKATE hoodies so bad. Can't find one anywhere.
today i turn 43 been playing since the dawn of atari and dont think of quiting playing, im like greg maybe not as much game but really invest in 4 or 5 game a year playing unicorn overloard great game and then off to play dragon dogma 2
What's happening with kids today is that games like Fortnite, Minecraft and CoD have become social activities where kids log on to hangout. The game itself is pretty secondary. My younger brother will spend hours in custom games just chilling with his friends.
I was definitely one of those kids that only played mp games (cod, halo, battlefield, etc.) I didn’t truly appreciate single player narrative games until Bioshock Infinite came out when I was like 16 lol very late bloomer.
Then I saw Greg host a panel at Momocon for Bioshock Infinite and I was like oh video games are so much more than I thought they were lmao
MTN DEW collecter here. Rise has unfortunately been completely discontinued, and so has Game Fuel Energy. The Only MTN DEW Energy drinks are Kick Start, and AMP.
Also Ginger Snapped was indeed, fire.
I’ll always game. If new games suck, I’ll play old games again or enjoy my hefty backlog.
I’ll always be a gamer. I can’t see a time where I stop playing honestly.
Gamescast is still one of the best show/podcasts you do
I've always said I would be a gamer until dead. However, recently I tried doing the Platinum trophy for Cuphead. I am close to 40 y/o, and this was the first time in my life where I felt that it was physically impossible for me to achieve. My reflexes just aren't there, anymore. I beat that game. But, the skill required for the Platinum is too high for me. Thats when I realized that, as I age, there will be less and less video-games that I can actually play and beat. Thats why I understand the argument for difficulty settings. That shouldn't be controversial.
Why would they make Nick the thumbnail and not have him on the podcast?
Huh, really surprising to hear Bless thinking he probably wouldnt be playing any other games except tekken this year if he wasnt at kindafunny. I gotta admit i thought he was more passionate for the medium than that
kinda sucks that Fortnite followed by Cod, Roblox? Maybe a few others, are completely dominating kids attention with other games not even getting a look in
It’s basically my deteriorating body playing chicken with anime style full dive vrmmo
never. end of the pod.
I definitely think that’s the mistake the this industry’s are making they think that because so many people are playing Fortnite or modern warfare or this other games that there are new gamers being made but everyone that I know that plays these games are not interested in real games. It is a really weird phenomenon at least to me.
Listen..I’m sorry about this and not trying to incite a war but…
Paraphrasing “being a dad, partner, ceo……etc…IF I FORCE MYSELF TO PLAY “Y”, I won’t enjoy it.”
That goes for games he WANTS to play.
This is EXACTLY why Greg specifically (and others) should not talk about PSVR2 (and vr overall). Respectfully, you LITERALLY don’t know what you’re talking about and I DO NOT BLAME YOU. (I’m using Greg as an example, obviously this goes to many ‘pundits’). You literally do not have the time to judge this subsect of gaming objectively. You can’t even play the flatscreen games you WANT to play let alone get acclimated to playing VR. Your views are tainted by your success and obligations WHICH IS MORE THAN FINE. I love all the shows yall produce, watch all the content, love the entire staff (yes even Nick) and been a fan of Greg’s for over a decade. So it’s not hate. You (and others) are just the wrong candidates to objectively speak on the medium and have been doing the platform(s) a huge disservice. (Not more than SONY has tho and to be very clear I do agree with MOST of your criticisms on how SONY in particular is handling their machine)…again NO HATE, NO PITCHFORKS…..just saying.
What a great episode.
Started on Sears Pong “console”. No plans to stop yet. “FOR DEMOCRACY!!!”
Okay we NEED to get Andy to try British or European Monster Energy Drink of all flavours, i think he might freak out just how better it is to the US stuff.
Don't be scared to do the DLC on NG+, honestly I feel like NG+ is much easier than NG, but maybe that's just me?
If I’m not playing sly cooper in my 70s it’s bc I’m dead
I will probably phase it out of my life once I have kids. I’ll probably dive heavy back in after I raise them but I love to screw off for 6 hours on a Saturday to play an rpg and I’d rather not try and find random hours in the week. All or nothing.
You dont have to do new game plus in Elden ring
when im blind or deaf it might stop me. or i might become a button mash warrior on eddy gordo
Blessing get back into making beats. 🔥
I don't ever see myself stopping playing games, I do think that the type of game I play will change a lot though. I already play almost no competitive games aside from jumping into Apex or Warzone once in a great while. I think once my reaction time starts to go to shit I will probably have to give up Souls games. I was thinking I as already starting to hit a slow reaction time point while playing the Stellar Blade demo but I started seeing a lot of complaints on Reddit about the input lag for the game so apparently it's not just me.
Might get burn out from a certain type of game but then I'll just play a different genre. Gaming and watching Anime i don't think I will ever stop either one
When they go all digital and free to play...
